'make' under MacOS 10.4.3 fails

[kaembo]

hi there!

I am trying to make keepass run on my mac. I got QT, the qmake runs just fine, but make ends up like this:

Code: Select all

<snip>

QDialog::qt_emit(int, QUObject*)
QDialog::qt_invoke(int, QUObject*)
typeinfo for QDialog
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../bin/keepass.app/Contents/MacOS/keepass] Error 1
make: *** [sub-src] Error 2

<snip>

the folder ../bin/keepass.app/Contents/MacOS exists, but is empty.

any idea?

Which Version of QT do you use?
Keepass/L needs QT 3.3.x!

[kaembo]

I use QT 3.3.5

I should mention that I don't really know what I am doing here. In other words: I don't know anything about all this 'make' stuff. So, if there's a stupid mistake somebody could make I propably made it

Can you please post the whole make-output?

[kaembo]

here it is (and BTW: thanks for your support!)

Code: Select all

[...]

/usr/bin/ld: warning prebinding disabled because of undefined symbols
/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
QStringData::deleteSelf()

[...]

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [../bin/keepass.app/Contents/MacOS/keepass] Error 1
make: *** [sub-src] Error 2

It seems, that the Qt runtime libs are not linked correctly.
Try the following:
- Open the makefile in the src directory
- There you can find an entry named "LIBS="
- Append ' -lqt-mt'
- now run make (do NOT run qmake again, because it overwrites the makefile)

I hope this will work.
btw, do not spend to much energy into compiling Keepass/L on MacOSX, because there are still many Problems (Big/Little Endian). Only the GUI works , but I think you can't load databases created on a i386 machine.
I have not tested it so much, because I can only use a Mac emulator (PearPC), and this is very very slow.

mmmh....

I did not have a makefile in the src folder in the first place... (only in the root folder), but I got me one by running qmake not just in the root folder, but also in src.

I than changed LIBS like this:
LIBS = $(SUBLIBS) -L$(QTDIR)/lib -Lqt-mt

but it does not change anything. what is qt-mt supposed to be? I don't have any file or directory named like this...

- Append ' -lqt-mt'

This parameter is case-sensitive
'-lqt-mt' means: link libqt-mt.so (multithreaded QT-Library)
'-Lqt-mt' means: add directory qt-mt to the library search paths...

[kaembo]

It runs!

the problem was that QT by default is not configured with the "-thread" option. after rebuilding QT with this option qmake creates the "-lqt-mt"-entry in the makefile and the make works.

but unfortunately you are right: I can not open databasefile created on x86 or PocketPC.

anyway, thanks for your help and for porting keepass!

Any news on getting the x86 files opened under OS X? Keepass is such a great app and now that I can use it on both platforms I work with, I really looking forward to keeping only one master file.

Thanks for the good work.

I'm working on full Mac support, but it will still take some time...
It's finished when it's finished

Ah well. In the meantime I can Export my Windoze DB to text, then import the textfile into a Mac OSX DB

Well, first I need to build KeePass. Can you make one that will compile in XCode, so I don't have to get QT?

[Gav]

Any chance someone could make a static build for OSX?
